It looks brand new, to claim it, please contact Patty at Cycle Sport 308-530-1897.<br /><br />"Potters Pasture Cow Pie 100"<br /><br />There's a group of us that were looking forward to competing in a 12 hour race in Lincoln this Spring, unfortunately they moved the date to June! This date doesn't work for any of us. So let's have our own, kinda. Jeff Ben and I want to attempt a 100 mile trail ride at Potters, self contained no hoopla. Starting at new camp during our Annual Spring Camp Out, ( April 20-22.) This will take place on Sat. 21st, we plan on starting at 6am. Anyone wanting to join us, is more then welcomed too!!! The course will be a 13m loop. <br />The local runners in our area have also been invited to run the course as well. We all can suffer together! You can do a 25-50-75 or 100 mile ride, give or take a couple of miles. The runners can do a shorter 5k run or the full loop, a half or full marathon. The course will go past 4 water spigots and will be marked to the best of our ability.<br />At 5pm we will have our usual Pot Luck dinner, if you would like to join us, please bring a covered dish.<br />Feel free to spend the weekend, we have space for tent and RV camping. We have running water, bathrooms and firewood only, everything else is up to you!<br />This is a "just for fun ride and run". You do this at your own risk! <br /><br />Happy Trails everyone...

Chris brought along Dan Spray who is an avid MTB racer/rider to check out Potter's Pasture and do a ton of photo's for a future article in the mag. It was kinda nice to hook up with these guy's who happen to be from my hometown of Norfolk Ne. !! I will hopefully be riding with Dan on the trails they have built when I go back to visit family!! Chris has extended an offer for new subscriptions that are done either on line or via phone !! Just mention “Potter’s Pasture—Free Calendar with subscription” in the order form comment box at www.NebraskaLife.com. Or, you can call them and order directly 800-777-6159 .</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9iyk183OoWqhSpBEicXduejgH9aOeQmH3wedp8hyphenhyphenQiE9wBOQkSugrIk6FllGuGiLjTxRAKTT5gGx4uhVHX1WjM4GWQVQsQfWQvpPud3SoNzEBbpddug_FuTmuaqOP-uU-CFb_kAc196z1/s1600/111001-0150.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9iyk183OoWqhSpBEicXduejgH9aOeQmH3wedp8hyphenhyphenQiE9wBOQkSugrIk6FllGuGiLjTxRAKTT5gGx4uhVHX1WjM4GWQVQsQfWQvpPud3SoNzEBbpddug_FuTmuaqOP-uU-CFb_kAc196z1/s320/111001-0150.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681345278566799618" /></a> The climb out of "New Camp" CQ & Dan Spray<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2fkCdIfwzURl1rksQs5xYh_RRk-iCxpYXpjY3j8_1CBTJl-WePGWlvUkFe6RR4i3wcjB8FfeQPaPwYqK8nN2e4Uc9fGpPwq7K8ryrZ_Rss6UYuD0mTBOLdgRc-7UiRTBLoicJBbjZN6dm/s1600/111001-1265.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2fkCdIfwzURl1rksQs5xYh_RRk-iCxpYXpjY3j8_1CBTJl-WePGWlvUkFe6RR4i3wcjB8FfeQPaPwYqK8nN2e4Uc9fGpPwq7K8ryrZ_Rss6UYuD0mTBOLdgRc-7UiRTBLoicJBbjZN6dm/s320/111001-1265.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681344937983952098" /></a> Jeff Caldwell droppin' in on Nugget<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMhj-ZJanfwmwtiMS0n2NWQPPaAc0rXuq0X0xjX1IQR9DdetwzKZKTzarRr1NsNWxZ1hke1T_kXSh2muWBpAiiph_-ulj3mz_ViZ2Qwjo64EBC44QOOdsdm6sIOmhC1odZzfIFd5sestaj/s1600/111001-0399.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMhj-ZJanfwmwtiMS0n2NWQPPaAc0rXuq0X0xjX1IQR9DdetwzKZKTzarRr1NsNWxZ1hke1T_kXSh2muWBpAiiph_-ulj3mz_ViZ2Qwjo64EBC44QOOdsdm6sIOmhC1odZzfIFd5sestaj/s320/111001-0399.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681343960674880802" /></a> Dan Spray enjoying what Potter's has to offer<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHybsKBPb5iysQcqXgTh57Dcig7YeMtwje4u10xYX59h8H4mAOZ1Fi3rG6Y_8TOrT4M7OsytODw8FxA0dwt5_cerhWJaUwvpvz_Bmq1XktNoGK8Fdq8pgeSfC2tqxbDqCLIMpv1IP7vFpa/s1600/111001-0999.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHybsKBPb5iysQcqXgTh57Dcig7YeMtwje4u10xYX59h8H4mAOZ1Fi3rG6Y_8TOrT4M7OsytODw8FxA0dwt5_cerhWJaUwvpvz_Bmq1XktNoGK8Fdq8pgeSfC2tqxbDqCLIMpv1IP7vFpa/s320/111001-0999.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681343663046398130" /></a> CQ on Ceder Ridge above "Old Camp"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPcfe5pjjwZPRST9SYQLuzqNWST5vy_xcUNqh5t6PHk3DzGDCzTq0Nk_00o5XTTkAD_NJWyCG5ykRvlIfn4eIWaJXV0unOyOHLcA7FcCwE5XLz4wmVoMG2p1o3O0PQ1DnbdPwtGn9AUlH0/s1600/111001-1418.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPcfe5pjjwZPRST9SYQLuzqNWST5vy_xcUNqh5t6PHk3DzGDCzTq0Nk_00o5XTTkAD_NJWyCG5ykRvlIfn4eIWaJXV0unOyOHLcA7FcCwE5XLz4wmVoMG2p1o3O0PQ1DnbdPwtGn9AUlH0/s320/111001-1418.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681343370518309122" /></a> The man himself Steve Potter !!!!!<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiymHLcI3xot39Ml_ZV7SCCqzWPVvjlx0AfXUFF40vjgLgwKZXQ1IpwMHUU2yYlOepjVdiWH8ZPRfhyVHJabu5L2ZvO_45PSubIz5q7tPiiOUisIBP9Pme07ol579lWoAq5pcdSpR_R0yQS/s1600/111001-0150.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><br /></a></div><br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /><div><br /></div></div></div></div>CQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16316039703905166631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672464632529764165.post-5326888788617581242011-11-07T19:06:00.000-06:002011-11-07T19:06:02.520-06:00Photo DUMP !!!!I really didn't have a direction to go with the blog at the moment and just thought a few pictures to look at would be cool.

I have to confess, that I haven't been out at the pasture much this year, but will be out there quite a bit this fall. The camp outs for this fall are scheduled for a couple of weekends; September 30th - October 2nd and October 14th - 16th. Once the weather cools a bit, I'll most likely be camping every weekend, but that's just me . . . </div><div>

There were some folks camping there that weekend while most of the locals were at new camp. It was mentioned that they hailed from points east near Lincoln or Lincoln proper. PACK OUT ALL OF YOUR TRASH !!! This is not a state park with people that clean up after people that can't seem to put there refuse in a proper place. There are quite a few people who cherish this place and put a huge amount of time into it. It is private land that can be closed because of crap like this. We have had people from a ton of states visit Potter's and loved it like it was their local haunt. It's sad to have to say that this may have been done by someone from our own state. I hope a couple of the riders got pics of the suv with plate so we can let these loser's know what we think of this. You had a great weekend and didn't have to finish the drive to the Black Hill's as stated by the female in the group. Maybe you should keep going next time.

Misty with passing sprinkle and a t-boomer thrown in for good measure. The light show on Saturday night was awesome!!! I was pretty surprised at the folks that showed up even with the weather issues. I believe we ended up with fifteen riders and around 20 or total. We had some very nice entertainment courtesy of Paul Siebert who played a huge array of music that was enjoyed by all !! A huge Thank You to Paul for the free performance. The moisture just enough to make the dirt sticky and a little slimy in a few spots. Over all it was a great time with some new folks and the usual suspects also !! We also discovered a group from Lincoln in old camp.

I knew it would be a crap shoot at best to even find a decent route. I hit the new Reaper's Ridge climb and some fun in tree's!! It turned out to be a tad bit muddy with snow in areas still. I did a loop around the perimeter that had around 10 miles of some of my favorites. I ended up cranking out two loops for a total of 17 miles. I ended up riding in complete solitude!! It is a totally different experience all alone, but I like it sometimes!! The weather closed in and it started to rain as I was leaving.<br /><br /> CQ<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhanl7KwU015Vfr6QT3MtnTdBHLERCbO0PFwqEgnhugMaL6n77LP_Zg218ea0_8SiRr9Wk86rpLG9NqmjFDNJO4wBjvy0kdr3h5FnVJNYoqgXLHhDCoGHUqPgGKhd3Gcp5AAND6iLu9Uy-u/s1600/016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhanl7KwU015Vfr6QT3MtnTdBHLERCbO0PFwqEgnhugMaL6n77LP_Zg218ea0_8SiRr9Wk86rpLG9NqmjFDNJO4wBjvy0kdr3h5FnVJNYoqgXLHhDCoGHUqPgGKhd3Gcp5AAND6iLu9Uy-u/s320/016.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596702143233100482" border="0" /></a><br /><br /> Coming down crack-a-lak was interesting in the snow.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaQ325cl7HuRkIlBOIfcG41Gzfy_YBLg7LxNF0OD67f7v-rwXm1bG-cG6pQTKUsgq3dAom611-AIqyqB8d7KZZ1OxvxX9ZO8SgYEBM6kfZZHksB_-QGAhVA7XufuVvtrtmhmBrylAmX1QO/s1600/013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaQ325cl7HuRkIlBOIfcG41Gzfy_YBLg7LxNF0OD67f7v-rwXm1bG-cG6pQTKUsgq3dAom611-AIqyqB8d7KZZ1OxvxX9ZO8SgYEBM6kfZZHksB_-QGAhVA7XufuVvtrtmhmBrylAmX1QO/s320/013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596701370361602050" border="0" /></a> The roots on Reaper's Ridge were fun to say the least!!!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOEBp1g2yMZcSrrldu8XcvhSe2i-GCAvweLWGHEgdetCSemLlJ_K5aezbyIvlzRAqpgfp-DI8NUwOTFXNuh9znXittrXsaUFuiTQOx7zGWker2haPaQafnSAx0oRpj9310DBpq55VdChJR/s1600/024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOEBp1g2yMZcSrrldu8XcvhSe2i-GCAvweLWGHEgdetCSemLlJ_K5aezbyIvlzRAqpgfp-DI8NUwOTFXNuh9znXittrXsaUFuiTQOx7zGWker2haPaQafnSAx0oRpj9310DBpq55VdChJR/s320/024.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596701382918306050" border="0" /></a> A nice pic at the top of Pump Hill.CQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16316039703905166631noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672464632529764165.post-73981286261995928472011-04-17T09:04:00.004-05:002011-04-17T09:30:42.709-05:00Spring Gathering<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOqFCgTX_XzI0svUEJx79bczfM6r5g7HacbISzVMxjoaG26RMyo8YOVnpbWrzUK_g3_06Oy3ETqcaF7Oo35MgeJCc6rx4XLudosUZwtjV1o-qRSi2CuaUvAODtAKslUwVYqNEknOq_npfM/s1600/april07+089.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOqFCgTX_XzI0svUEJx79bczfM6r5g7HacbISzVMxjoaG26RMyo8YOVnpbWrzUK_g3_06Oy3ETqcaF7Oo35MgeJCc6rx4XLudosUZwtjV1o-qRSi2CuaUvAODtAKslUwVYqNEknOq_npfM/s320/april07+089.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596558901195129554" border="0" /></a><br />It is that time of year again!! Time to get outside, enjoy the trails and have a little campfire time in the evening with some friends. The date for the get together is May 5th - 8th. It was hard to get a date that functioned well for anyone this year. Hope this works for more than a few of the MTB crowd out there. If you have a Mother that rides this could work out well for you!! You could go to your local shop and pick up some Mothers Day goodies and give them to her at the trails!! Potters is in very good shape this spring so come join in the fun!! The location will be at "Festival Camp" . It is located at the southern entrance to the trails and can be found on the trail map you can download and print.<br /> CQCQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16316039703905166631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672464632529764165.post-61869378660339871442011-04-10T09:58:00.006-05:002011-04-10T20:22:40.991-05:00Reaper's Ridge Phase 1 Completed<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8HfScv68XOyhq3Tl_WnSlrs_ap3OH0MRDMV5RbZu1hv5mkC5oLifuzfDySq5nUlqO8vJzY169mawvOWtmHWekhb10KH4zviVxmtpanjEATUKOc3OcWsvMVHByWrlMmx_pCJDKqDzCK_2j/s1600/006.JPG"><br /></a>The Reaper's Ridge phase 1 redesign is complete to the top now. This has been in the design/exploratory phase for about five years now.I knew what I wanted out of this area and now it is half done. I finished the route layout and then with the help of T Laub we hit it and hit it hard!! I had paused to take a breather and noticed where we had made it too, when I let out a holler. We were at the top !! So we finished up what needed to be finished and then we rolled that sucker!! I must say it roll's very well folks !! The sign for the upper entrance will have to be placed and a link will be made to reconnect to the original lower section of Reaper's. There will be some work done on the original entrance as the time allows. It is time to ride people!! Get out and enjoy the trails!!<br /> CQ<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKTTQdzvJ2BMntOq69Qd1MQ8V_LNd4ByVAXdEelLaQ7VLXsqdqYk95zGQJNMU-mya2tpVhMWyIoOKVBq6fvoJ5UAfxCsvF95KkTMDhcWusT8-o_ClI-rYlAeEbbrzoox2xhE6eJ9y2wuoz/s1600/007.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKTTQdzvJ2BMntOq69Qd1MQ8V_LNd4ByVAXdEelLaQ7VLXsqdqYk95zGQJNMU-mya2tpVhMWyIoOKVBq6fvoJ5UAfxCsvF95KkTMDhcWusT8-o_ClI-rYlAeEbbrzoox2xhE6eJ9y2wuoz/s320/007.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593972539349903458" border="0" /></a> Looking downhill near the middle of the upper section<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy0foC9zNADuUF03I33gyAjhsg_tVdYLxYyHEGgK2aCHEMhvCHAAbhu1u6kuXq5t5QJ6HmDA43NcrBurbbgQX7toFSTpf5e7EIJPAEGhnJGdCIcd5izuAW7eZpnBBLiV-p7vbHKpS9Yy08/s1600/004.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy0foC9zNADuUF03I33gyAjhsg_tVdYLxYyHEGgK2aCHEMhvCHAAbhu1u6kuXq5t5QJ6HmDA43NcrBurbbgQX7toFSTpf5e7EIJPAEGhnJGdCIcd5izuAW7eZpnBBLiV-p7vbHKpS9Yy08/s320/004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593972028769446802" border="0" /></a> CQ rollin' the upper section downhill<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8HfScv68XOyhq3Tl_WnSlrs_ap3OH0MRDMV5RbZu1hv5mkC5oLifuzfDySq5nUlqO8vJzY169mawvOWtmHWekhb10KH4zviVxmtpanjEATUKOc3OcWsvMVHByWrlMmx_pCJDKqDzCK_2j/s1600/006.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8HfScv68XOyhq3Tl_WnSlrs_ap3OH0MRDMV5RbZu1hv5mkC5oLifuzfDySq5nUlqO8vJzY169mawvOWtmHWekhb10KH4zviVxmtpanjEATUKOc3OcWsvMVHByWrlMmx_pCJDKqDzCK_2j/s320/006.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593972985832792578" border="0" /></a> Looking uphill near the middle of the upper sectionCQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16316039703905166631noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672464632529764165.post-11783665698062260802011-04-03T19:49:00.007-05:002011-04-03T20:29:32.847-05:00Breaking in a new rideI received a call from T Laub that his friend TJ had pulled the trigger on a new ride!! They were heading to Potter's to get a quick break-in ride for TJ's new Rock Hopper. Heck he didn't even let the smell of the shop clear before they picked me up. We did a nice loop to get him familiarized with a few key routes and landmarks. It was a very nice 84 F while we were riding. I was not prepared for what the trails had in store for my legs at all. I was on the SS and it didn't dawn on me till the first climb that I was running a 32x17 which was a bit steep for me at Potter's!! On the way back to "Old Camp" heard T Laub talkin' up the Big Hill descent into camp. Well I cut off onto the single track down and they bombed the two track . I watched as TJ made it and stopped to watch T Laub launch off the nice jump at the bottom. He landed the first one and then dropped into the road cut near the windmill . Not such a good landing here !! Lots of dust and debris flying everywhere!!! He was in one piece and had some very nice raspberries to show off. We discovered that blood had been let so all in all it was a great day at the pasture !!<br /> CQ<br /><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEialmsuRQraLSkD9wHaSRsC8SXSxpvcWS09nyi0PEpugMtqq-V_6N8sT_kaFS_I4TibOLsN5GPyLbuQHATrZ0YF29mKvHQIRTfrwpZu_hA5c65fcJ_v80WfzYgxBJ-p9DzeMU-D1DgNU2z4/s1600/008.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEialmsuRQraLSkD9wHaSRsC8SXSxpvcWS09nyi0PEpugMtqq-V_6N8sT_kaFS_I4TibOLsN5GPyLbuQHATrZ0YF29mKvHQIRTfrwpZu_hA5c65fcJ_v80WfzYgxBJ-p9DzeMU-D1DgNU2z4/s320/008.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591532364661756450" border="0" /></a> TJ all smiles after a great ride !!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaVZekFaitN9BIcWrXb9aZg_fBkrjri4wv3Pttc0cOykbVRKyu2gtEnPw4ROTzyS0i12KAThZ4EeAVxluXi0NO2NDQU2UD7yjSFwwofqyF6OnFFrkRhbZQ4npirXwOfjSLNQ9tC6ie21WN/s1600/013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaVZekFaitN9BIcWrXb9aZg_fBkrjri4wv3Pttc0cOykbVRKyu2gtEnPw4ROTzyS0i12KAThZ4EeAVxluXi0NO2NDQU2UD7yjSFwwofqyF6OnFFrkRhbZQ4npirXwOfjSLNQ9tC6ie21WN/s320/013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591533097396878210" border="0" /></a><br /> T Laub all smiles cause nothing was broke !!!CQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16316039703905166631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672464632529764165.post-20673859555754357302011-03-26T20:38:00.004-05:002011-03-26T20:56:33.179-05:00Trail WorkI headed out to Potter's to get in some trail work on the extension to Reaper's Ridge with T Laub aka "Jack Cleveland" last Saturday. We made a huge dent in the second phase. I have crawled and bushwacked around this canyon for a long time and the trail that I knew could be laid out will soon be a reality. There will be two lines at the original entrance, one is the original with the drop and roots, and the other will be a line that will allow more people to access this awesome trail.

We will leave as a group and ride 10 miles of gravel and paved roads to Jeffery Lake, <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; ">then do a open water swim in a cove near the dam, then ride our bikes 9 miles back to camp on paved and gravel roads. Then run or walk a 5k on the trails at Potters. At the start of each event we will wait for everybody to catch up before heading out again. There will be a Pot Luck dinner afterwards, so bring your favorite dish. Paul Siebert from Aurora may join us and if so he will bring his trusty Guitar. Should be a lot of fun hope to see u there.</span></h3></span>Llamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14772180878330237865noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672464632529764165.post-74490686511586330212010-07-27T12:43:00.001-05:002010-07-31T19:41:23.434-05:00Better Late<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Just a few pics from a couple of weeks ago. </div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4zp18a34ZiXMwAm3VP3BShyphenhypheni42rwQC6i0Prccut2YMVM7ZeYqwSKY_p4Ew1JzE1L7-ffkCe26BlyCXcpe7TyRdSkjdwUTjf76ElMXylyr1k7IgFYgW1CLdLkni8tQgn9llnsFtRP1ruw/s1600/DSCN0682.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4zp18a34ZiXMwAm3VP3BShyphenhypheni42rwQC6i0Prccut2YMVM7ZeYqwSKY_p4Ew1JzE1L7-ffkCe26BlyCXcpe7TyRdSkjdwUTjf76ElMXylyr1k7IgFYgW1CLdLkni8tQgn9llnsFtRP1ruw/s400/DSCN0682.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499810844164332882" /></a><div style="text-align: left;">The water in the pond has reached the edge of the "high" route on Freeway.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdfDwCMH4C6bnn7vwdqwAku76F6_YT9UVKzrCf50_0_V4m1S3C3M3Ooe8kY-RgQwHSjE47NUyS3h4S0vcQgXHK_Uls4YaHGz2K1HZrbesQzmlzjmglWMwCjW4CPUH9Wz7o1Y8YD7s6B3Y/s1600/DSCN0678.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdfDwCMH4C6bnn7vwdqwAku76F6_YT9UVKzrCf50_0_V4m1S3C3M3Ooe8kY-RgQwHSjE47NUyS3h4S0vcQgXHK_Uls4YaHGz2K1HZrbesQzmlzjmglWMwCjW4CPUH9Wz7o1Y8YD7s6B3Y/s400/DSCN0678.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499810835394251394" /></a><div style="text-align: left;">The Desert canyon continues to grow.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCF7g2l2f1GDF1s7U6HaHNNU5MvR5y6iphZiQbQ2yfkwwIktqRyCwoBYxsXRF7KmW5OWqX7rfI4c0jknKbO_64Gzp_st8R6tFXxxDdM0YwdgbAt5FUpR9lE1ws1Fh-IN_DBaoNM1yRpgk/s1600/DSCN0680.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCF7g2l2f1GDF1s7U6HaHNNU5MvR5y6iphZiQbQ2yfkwwIktqRyCwoBYxsXRF7KmW5OWqX7rfI4c0jknKbO_64Gzp_st8R6tFXxxDdM0YwdgbAt5FUpR9lE1ws1Fh-IN_DBaoNM1yRpgk/s400/DSCN0680.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499810824231102722" /></a><div style="text-align: left;">One should definitely take the high road around this point.

I was well into the morning when I spoke with Llama only to find out he was not able to hit the TNR at the "South 40 " location . Bob "The Man " was also out . While toiling away I decided a look at MTBR was in order. Maybe that would spark some renewed passion in me. I cruised a couple of boards and then noticed I had a private message !!! Sweet !! It was from a contact I had made that was from Bozeman MT. and they were going to camp and do a layover ride at Potters on the return trip home. I suppose my TNR conundrum is now solved . Now if you've ever been to Potters you know cell phones only function in the "phone booth" so after several missed calls I received a text that they were at Potters. I shut down and hit the road for the thirty mile commute home to load up for the twenty mile drive to the trail head at old camp. The Bozeman crew had went out for a quick ride before I arrived so I took off to find them. I had a darn near full loop in when I ran into Paul B and Jeff. We headed back to camp to regroup . Tyson and Matt were back from the adventure they had on a few of the not so well traveled trails they found. We chatted awhile and the hit the real goods that Potters has to offer . The loop took us on the classic route that includes Church Grove,Upper Hornitos, 6 Man climb " Lower Hornitos , The Desert , and Ceder Ridge. Paul B and his crew bailed when we arrived back at camp. The Bozeman crew and I chatted it up and had some beer that they brought with them . I had a decision to make on the way out between BEER or good FIREWOOD as an offering to the visitors. I chose firewood because it was suppose to cool off and we were between rains . I had a great time riding with you guys and hope to see you again . Maybe next time in Big Sky Country !!!<br /> CQ in exileCQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16316039703905166631noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672464632529764165.post-751024720107685182010-07-05T20:17:00.005-05:002010-07-06T14:30:00.375-05:00Slingbladin' at Potters<div style="text-align: left;">Drove out to the pasture today for some maintenance & soon found out I was all alone & not wanting to get the van stuck or having a lot of extra time to hike back to trails that need trimming I spent a couple hours opening up the new camp area.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6SBKRrihcxfScLcVNtQ_1UFGukxf6QTk8JfzMWgdDQ6Ge9HOLhXDe2k7l45E2Y6Jy8R5Z0HM24zqqfORMf32e5Daxgtlu7QmDFMaMOuSOYIpFlgjjXOUR7uYGx0wTTwmh6ZzblqrQVj8/s1600/P7050081.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6SBKRrihcxfScLcVNtQ_1UFGukxf6QTk8JfzMWgdDQ6Ge9HOLhXDe2k7l45E2Y6Jy8R5Z0HM24zqqfORMf32e5Daxgtlu7QmDFMaMOuSOYIpFlgjjXOUR7uYGx0wTTwmh6ZzblqrQVj8/s320/P7050081.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490597546685254114" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">East camp before</div><div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiyatqxphgjlFCelgu1LkiUanGqfGcSloxNbGYGr12dRmAyfciKMnJ5XvteRFPRSjTrDnf9Ah9SkFl93ls9wcoFWpdKe8ZxKHPV3OKn736Gb6oyuSf7Pa4rLIa_asTHKgoLKg6ocx4RXw/s320/P7050085.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490598386305914194" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">East camp after, should be plenty of parking for several vehicles to base a ride out of or a mowing session on the east end of the pasture</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIkbJLoUnjq44p7sSuxAV3NMfGqoVkDUjH7Jo6v-DFQfAOs9UstlSQ4XIggb-73l7TjdZhasX8kyfEQpBLY8VNlujzw3AYDToxBVt-gdtSpfaYoJmDpCEU5t0FJZcd1_6XcZFBlw2UrwI/s320/P7050084.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490597558046531266" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Billy Bob Thornton's "slingblade" has nothing on mine!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div></div></div>paxtoncoyotehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15738361291848546953noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672464632529764165.post-71268354265314772732010-07-02T20:37:00.001-05:002010-07-03T19:12:58.869-05:00Trail Work Monday 7-5-2010<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">It sounds like a lot of the crew will be out at Potter's on Monday to do some trail work.
